Ram stick? King Ralph? The Hordaks? A little research would help you not look so ignorant. The Horde were the last year I got Masters toys and I have easy bet comprehension of the line.
@@ThatJunkman Well damn. Never let it be said that I don't apologize when I'm wrong or that I can't laugh at my own mistakes. In all honesty I saw the video and was furious at what appeared to be a lack of knowledge, didn't even consider you might be joking around and screwing with names on the list. Well played, and I apologize for saying you came off as ignorant.
The "Meteorbs" come from an imported Japanese toyline of eggs that transform into animals and other things. The toyline is called "Tamagoras", which comes from the Japanese word for egg, "tamago".
Battle Armor He-Man and BA Skeletor were awesome (though he needed an evil purple axe). I loved them. I had the Dragon Blaster and Terror Claws Skeletors (and Hurricane Hordak) and played with them a lot. I have the Origins of these.
To be fair, when the line first came out, the characters of Prince Adam and the Sorceress had not yet been created. Adam was created for the DC Comics miniseries and Sorceress was created for the Filmation cartoon which premiered a year or so after the toys.
"in 1988, the final action figures of the original toy line, the "Laser Power" versions of He-Man and Skeletor, did bear some resemblance to their live-action movie counterparts and were released only to European markets." The movie has some great characterization.
"This was 1986 I was standing outside holding hands with the rest of America trying to find haley's comet" Best line in this video. People who grew up in the 1980's are laughing and the rest are like WTF is he talking about? That line instantly took me back...
Fisto, just by name alone that sounds nasty. And then there's Stinkor with the power of stench, he was so ridiculous that even Filmation refused to use him in the He-Man cartoon.
That laser power He-Man was said was made to be a sculpt for a Dolph Lugndren version of He-Man to go with the Masters of the Universe movie. Something did not go right, so it got shipped to Italy. The French (or Spain or both) have the traditional He Man head. I would prefer that one. If it were not so expensive.
My mom bought me a Stratos figure on mother's day. She was an awesome mom. Extendar is just overcompensating for something. And I remember Cat Scratch Skeletor. Back when they always had to have a new gimmick. Damn, the Sorceress made That Junkman cuss!
When you showed Extendar and said, "They were really reaching with this one," were you intentionally making a joke, or was that an accident? Because it made me laugh. You know... "reaching." 😄
I love ya Junk, but as a hardcore MOTU guy this video may open up either lectures and dissertations or scorn from (what may surprise you to be) a quite vigorous fanbase. Have fun and keep up the good content. Id love to have a civil chat on MOTU if youre down
Dinosorb is what I put in the hallway so we don't have to smell the cigarette smoke smell from the old lady next door. But it looks like it should come with silly putty inside.
I had all of those except for the Laser Light figures, which were pretty limited in the U.S. I was huge into MOTU, so I'm pretty biased. I loved all my MOTU figures, vehicles, and playsets, but if I had to pick a truly bad one, it has to be Ram-Man. No posability. Could pretty much just stand. Could not ride in a vehicle. Cool character. Bad figure.
he seems like he was designed to look like he wasn't dangerous since it looked like it could have been dangerous if he was well constructed and designed....it was kind of like they said "lets make this but in a way that it doesn't catch on and get lots of attention"
6:59 Both ninja and samurai used bow and arrows in massive battles. Well, the ninja would use a bow and arrow to assassinate someone (important). Most empires and kingdoms used archers to protect their castle.
Nothing wrong with Zodac. Pretty basic figure, but so were most of the early ones. You should have been able to get the chair he used in the show. He was a knockoff of Metron from when they had the Jack Kirby's Fourth World license, so the chair wasn't something they added later when Filmation did their thing with it..
7:25 In the early artwork and toys, TEELA was presented as the SORCERESS, before FILMATION got the deal to do the cartoon. PRINCE ADAM was introduced on the cartoon. Most of us were baffled and annoyed by Prince Adam's costume and creation. People could guess that Teela's toy was foreshadowing that she will become the future sorceress. The cartoon redefined the characters. But, the toys were out first.
Terror Claws Skeletor (I had the original and have the Origins), Sssqueeze (I wish we had him, and I want the Origins), Extendar (my brother had him, and I'm waiting for Origins of him, Rio Blast, and Mantisaur), and Ninjor were sweet. Zodac's (and Kobra Khan's) gun is sweet. I bought one off of eBay (and Man-E-Faces's gun). Battle Armor He-Man and BA Skeletor (though he needed an evil purple axe) were awesome. (We had them, and I have the Origins of them.)
I agree with most of it. Except Zodac. He was badass. An enforcer who you never knew where you had him. Zodac, Scare Glow and Trap Jaw was my favourites.
While I never liked the final Skeletor because he was so different to the original, I do now find it interesting that he’s basically the model they adapted for the New Adventures line; which goes a long way to explaining why I also hate that Skeletor!
A couple years ago I picked up a huge toy lot that had TONS of the later ridiculous MOTU stuff in it....dumb figures, dinosaurs with cockpits...lots of stuff that is pretty rare now. After a little eBaying my PayPal was very very happy. So...I LOVE the stupid things!
I got out of he-man after the first few waves. I remember seeing the new figures in stores & thinking how dumb they looked. Those stupid animal figures look like they have been taken from another toy range & re packaged as MOTU toys.
I was just about on my out of getting new toys when The Sorceress came out. During the time I was playing with He-Man toys I always had to have the bird Zoar stand in for the Sorceress, she had to just always be stuck in bird form.
Great video as always junkman, I agree for the most part except for Zodak, I can think of one you could lumped in with the rest of these flops ...SPIKOR now that was a stupid figure.
He-Man was released in the days when female action figures were rarely purchased by boys, hence why the Sorceress was so late in the line. I know when i was a kid (And still to this day) i dont buy female action figures (Sorry its nothing personal they just dont appeal to me).
The annoying thing with He-Man is that most of the expensive rare figures are the ones that are the dumbest looking (With the exception of Scare Glow / Horde Trooper). I say collect what you like and don't collect something just because its rare / expensive, i collect cool looking figures and not dumb ones just because they cost a fortune / rare or i am a completionist.
The 1987 figures are similar to the Star Wars power of the force in 1985. They both came at the end of the line so people had lost interest by then so not as many were mad. And now 35 years later they are most expensive and sought after figures in each line
I was out of toys and he man around 86 i got the first horde guys and the last figure i bought was stinkor i remember moss man and syklone just came out but i didn’t get them as i was too old for toys up until then i got all the basic figures
OK So I have watched your video for exactly 1:02 and your called "The Hord", the Hordaks, (which was actually part of the She-Ra series BTW) and you called King Randor, King Ralph, You are not instilling any confidence in your expertise
Battle Armour He-Man and Skeletor are actually my preferred versions of the figures. The awesome artwork on the posters that came with the He-man comic over here in England often had him in that armour so it added to it.
I got the Stilt Stalker in a lot of toys from someone a few months ago. I sold it pretty quickly because I thought it was one of the dumbest he man toys I’ve ever seen. It’s so lame. I think they made Squeeze better during the 2000’s show when they made him look scarier and gave him faces at the ends of his arms.
towards the end of MOTU toy line, they were making toys based off of the Marvel Comic book. that's why many people have never heard of them or seen them. like the Meteorbs, the dinosaud and ty-grrr. they were part of a comic run where they were accompanying a character named Stondar. I think that was his name.
A list of worst MOTU figures without that lame Orko toy? You're slipping. And although I agree with most of your choices, that last Skeletor looked pretty cool.
To not have Ram Man, Twistoid, and Rotar are this list is absolutely criminal. And you have NO room to mock my beloved MOTU figures when you're a Star Wars fan! They made figures of every idiot, loser, moron, and dweeb that ever appeared in those stupid movies whether they deserved a figure or not! Hell, even Mr. "I'm so cool in my armor" Bubba Fett was slaughtered by a goofy Three Stooges joke. And don't tell me "oh, he survived!" That's all fan fiction and bs. He's dead and eaten and gone. The end.
You need to checkout the classic made a few years ago! They redone Castle Grey skull and it’s huge!!! I just paid for the pre order of snake mountain made by supper 7!!
I had quite a few of the original MOTU toys. But they were expensive back then and that's the problem I had. I wanted them when they first came out but was easier to acquire Star Wars and G.I. Joe toys. I had all that stuff. But I remember when Return Of The Jedi toys first came out I was starting to get a bit older and didn't collect them or even want them. I remember wanting Jabba The Hutt and for my 11th bday got it. But didn't play with it much. I noticed though that the Jedi action figures seemed different than the ones I always played with. More modern looking. Glossy and all that. Same with the MOTU toys. After the first and second wave of cool stuff came out all that weird crap Mattel started making. Glad I grew out of it because I noticed it back then. The last MOTU action figure I had was MODULOK and he was awesome. Thunder Punch He-Man was second to last. It's true though that around 1987 and 1988 our toys started changing. They didn't look right to us anymore. Glittery and shiny and just weird and different in every way. Of course, I was about fourteen or fifteen in 87/88 so my interests had moved on. I do remember though and with disdain when I saw MOTU toys starting to appear less and less in stores. I knew they were fading away and left a sad and old feeling in me. When ROTJ toys started coming out the new stuff was already selling out of the cheap bins so Star Wars was fading before it was even over. Sad then too. I was born in 1974 so I can remember playing with the MEGO and Lone Ranger dolls. And can recall seeing the Lone Ranger toys being sold cheap at bulk one day and even though I was just a little kid I understood that they were quitting the line. I cried about that lol. And every Saturday I went to Kreske's and bought a MEGO action figure and the racks were always full of them. One day they were all gone and never saw them again. That hurt me in the gut! I remember KMart hauling buggies out to the dumpster full of Stretch Armstrong toys and the JAWS game. Gosh... Some of us knew when we were little that what we played with was something we would wish we still had when we were grown ups. We didn't want to grow up because the grown ups didn't play with toys. We always wanted to be kids back then forever so that we could always play. Now, we do. Atleast we collect em lol. We are a generation of time travelers it appears.
Hey Lumpy Junk! Love ya brother! My top 3 favorite He-man action figures were "Stratos", "Cyclone" & "Spikor" ..It was funny when me, my brother & cousins played. Because we threw "Greedo" from Star Wars in a Tonka semi as a flower delievery person because "Stratos" always sent her flowers to "Princess Leia" because he was in love with her. haha Wow! that could been a best selling book by itself! lol Imagination! My cousin was like "Why is princess leia in love with Stratos".. I said "Because she knows he's bigger & can protect her".. Oh here comes "Greedo with flowers again!".. lmao It was fun! Anyways, Love ya Lumpy Junk! Great Video Again! Alwayz your friend from Indiana -Me :)
My grandmother used to get so so mad at me because, I'd pick all her roses and shove them in the back of this Tonka Semi so "Greedo could deliever flowers!" hahahahaha Oh man, great memories man. :)
Zodac was initially a villain but in the cartoon he was a hero. The cartoon was terrible! In the original comics that came with the figures, He-man was just a wandering barbarian who eventually meets "The Goddess" and is appointed the guardian of Greyskull...and no lame Prince Adam alter-ego. I have a love/hate relationship with Masters of the Universe, as when I got older and got into Conan and the Robert E. Howard stories I realized what a rip-off of Conan and Kull that He-man actually was! No where is this more evident than with the Snake-Men.
I watched a video about the production of the Conan movie. An earlier draft of the movie script had Thulsa Doom as a sorcerer with a skull for a head, which is apparently what the character looks like in the Kull stories. (I haven't read the source material but that's what the video said.) Mattel was involved at one point with negotiations for making Conan toys, too. So it seems plausible that the MOTU line started out as Conan.
I’m not a fan of Zodak either actually. To be fair to Mattel tho a lot of the characters the cartoon made famous didn’t exist when they made wave 1 as it came out after. I’m no fan of the metorobs either never knew they existed until I was an adult. Squeezee is cool actually. The arms are goofy but they wrap round other figures it looks cool on shelf. The adult line in particular of him is cool.
Ram stick? King Ralph? The Hordaks? A little research would help you not look so ignorant. The Horde were the last year I got Masters toys and I have easy bet comprehension of the line.
learning what jokes are will help you not look so ignorant. but you have won a pin comment award.

@@ThatJunkman honestly this video sucks. Your playing the world's smallest violin this whole entire video.
Some kid at school stole my NInjor's numbchucks tp use with his Michaelangelo... I'm still pissed off 20 something years later...
My friends & I really liked Ninjor. He had a lot of cool accessories.
Zodak was a villain. Thus the webbed feet. In the cartoon, they switched the allegiance.
It seems he was supposed to be a villain at first, but it was vague.
Squeeze was into social distancing before it was a thing. Lol
😂
The "Meteorbs" come from an imported Japanese toyline of eggs that transform into animals and other things. The toyline is called "Tamagoras", which comes from the Japanese word for egg, "tamago".
I actually liked the Battle damage and Thunder punch He-Man
Riding on the coat tails of He-Man.
I liked the Skeletor version but the He-Man one i found average
Battle Armor He-Man and BA Skeletor were awesome (though he needed an evil purple axe). I loved them. I had the Dragon Blaster and Terror Claws Skeletors (and Hurricane Hordak) and played with them a lot. I have the Origins of these.

Yeah, I was thinking that the He-Man one he showed looked a lot like Dolph Lundgren.
"This was 1986 I was standing outside holding hands with the rest of America trying to find haley's comet" Best line in this video. People who grew up in the 1980's are laughing and the rest are like WTF is he talking about? That line instantly took me back...
So He-Man merged with Transformers then?!
Fisto, just by name alone that sounds nasty. And then there's Stinkor with the power of stench, he was so ridiculous that even Filmation refused to use him in the He-Man cartoon.
Fisto looks goofy and the puns made of him has made him a no go for me as a He-Man collector
That laser power He-Man was said was made to be a sculpt for a Dolph Lugndren version of He-Man to go with the Masters of the Universe movie. Something did not go right, so it got shipped to Italy. The French (or Spain or both) have the traditional He Man head. I would prefer that one. If it were not so expensive.
I lived in Italy when I was a child and now I have 2! One is the one I've played as a child, the other one is new and still boxed :) good memories!
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH THAT LASER POWERED HE-MAN GOES FOR THAT JUNKMAN???!
I remember an older video in which some guy opened a sealed Laser Power He-Man and the Internet melted down.
My mom bought me a Stratos figure on mother's day. She was an awesome mom.
Extendar is just overcompensating for something.
And I remember Cat Scratch Skeletor. Back when they always had to have a new gimmick.
Damn, the Sorceress made That Junkman cuss!
When you showed Extendar and said, "They were really reaching with this one," were you intentionally making a joke, or was that an accident? Because it made me laugh.
You know... "reaching." 😄
Lol I didn’t even get that nail now
I love ya Junk, but as a hardcore MOTU guy this video may open up either lectures and dissertations or scorn from (what may surprise you to be) a quite vigorous fanbase.
Have fun and keep up the good content. Id love to have a civil chat on MOTU if youre down
At the end of the line; Mattel really just phoned it in.
Ah, the Meteorbs. MOTU's painfully un-subtle attempt to snag some of that sweet Transformers cash.
I liked zodac, he was the first figure I got. For me I think Ram Man was thw worst!!!
Ram man was bad.
Good show love the choices! They did make some crazy things sometimes! Happy Canada day! 🇨🇦♥️
Dinosorb is what I put in the hallway so we don't have to smell the cigarette smoke smell from the old lady next door. But it looks like it should come with silly putty inside.
I heard Skeletor use to be a Stormtrooper! Explains why no one ever died!
You can't underestimate how cool ninjas were in the 1980s....
A Ninja with webbed feet? ok now that's just silly.
Keep up the fabulous work
Terror Claw Skeletor was one of my favorites as a kid!
Hey! Much respect for not including my personal favorite figure Stinkor in this video!
There were more than 10 dumb figures.
I had all of those except for the Laser Light figures, which were pretty limited in the U.S. I was huge into MOTU, so I'm pretty biased. I loved all my MOTU figures, vehicles, and playsets, but if I had to pick a truly bad one, it has to be Ram-Man. No posability. Could pretty much just stand. Could not ride in a vehicle.

It’s more of a vehicle, but the living dinosaur bones was pretty stupid. Especially the idea of clipping a bunch of guys to its rib cage.
6:59 Both ninja and samurai used bow and arrows in massive battles. Well, the ninja would use a bow and arrow to assassinate someone (important). Most empires and kingdoms used archers to protect their castle.
The dumbest was the big buff Princess Leia... Oh that's POWER OF THE FARCE 1990'$
Amy Cobby's loss Junkman!!! Playing with He Man toys is TOTALLY RAD!!!!👍👍👍
I want to see a special episode in which Junkman calls up Amy Cobby.
Zodac was one of my favorites. Mysterious!!!
The Laser Light figs reportedly got restyled based on the movie.
Nothing wrong with Zodac. Pretty basic figure, but so were most of the early ones. You should have been able to get the chair he used in the show. He was a knockoff of Metron from when they had the Jack Kirby's Fourth World license, so the chair wasn't something they added later when Filmation did their thing with it..
In Skeletor voice “King Ralph, you royal boob!”

I still got some of these back in the day, Ninjor was very cool to play with & yes I would definatly buy that on a tshirt😉
Cheers👍🍻
Thigh gap.... Rocking the humor this episode...
“Get the both for the price if one, but they’re both pretty stupid.”
Ninjor sounds so close to a slur.
Looks like Tygrrr swallowed that dyno egg thing.
I got out of he-man after the first few waves. I remember seeing the new figures in stores & thinking how dumb they looked. Those stupid animal figures look like they have been taken from another toy range & re packaged as MOTU toys.
I was just about on my out of getting new toys when The Sorceress came out.
During the time I was playing with He-Man toys I always had to have the bird Zoar stand in for the Sorceress, she had to just always be stuck in bird form.
Laser power he-man looks like a muscle bound Steve Irwin
I agree with most of these, but I loved the Terror Claw Skeletor.
Omg I have the Sorseress of Castle Grayskull . Yeah the other action figures were bad looking.
Great video as always junkman, I agree for the most part except for Zodak, I can think of one you could lumped in with the rest of these flops ...SPIKOR now that was a stupid figure.

You made your toys kiss each other.thats howt-paris Hilton
How many Action Figures are in the Line ???
The annoying thing with He-Man is that most of the expensive rare figures are the ones that are the dumbest looking (With the exception of Scare Glow / Horde Trooper). I say collect what you like and don't collect something just because its rare / expensive, i collect cool looking figures and not dumb ones just because they cost a fortune / rare or i am a completionist.

Hey Lumpy Junk! Love ya brother! My top 3 favorite He-man action figures were "Stratos", "Cyclone" & "Spikor" ..It was funny when me, my brother & cousins played. Because we threw "Greedo" from Star Wars in a Tonka semi as a flower delievery person because "Stratos" always sent her flowers to "Princess Leia" because he was in love with her. haha Wow! that could been a best selling book by itself! lol Imagination! My cousin was like "Why is princess leia in love with Stratos".. I said "Because she knows he's bigger & can protect her".. Oh here comes "Greedo with flowers again!".. lmao It was fun! Anyways, Love ya Lumpy Junk! Great Video Again! Alwayz your friend from Indiana -Me :)
My grandmother used to get so so mad at me because, I'd pick all her roses and shove them in the back of this Tonka Semi so "Greedo could deliever flowers!" hahahahaha Oh man, great memories man. :)
Be honest you fancied the sorceress too👍
The worst was gwildor... conversation over. Lol
I always hated SyClone the most. Still do.
Him and the Rock Guys.
Zodac was initially a villain but in the cartoon he was a hero. The cartoon was terrible! In the original comics that came with the figures, He-man was just a wandering barbarian who eventually meets "The Goddess" and is appointed the guardian of Greyskull...and no lame Prince Adam alter-ego. I have a love/hate relationship with Masters of the Universe, as when I got older and got into Conan and the Robert E. Howard stories I realized what a rip-off of Conan and Kull that He-man actually was! No where is this more evident than with the Snake-Men.
I watched a video about the production of the Conan movie. An earlier draft of the movie script had Thulsa Doom as a sorcerer with a skull for a head, which is apparently what the character looks like in the Kull stories. (I haven't read the source material but that's what the video said.) Mattel was involved at one point with negotiations for making Conan toys, too. So it seems plausible that the MOTU line started out as Conan.
@@KasumiKenshirou Correct! The Thulsa Doom/Skullface character was from an unpublished story fragment from either a Conan or Kull story.
I wish I had all the toys I had when I was a kid. I remember having all that stuff.
I’m not a fan of Zodak either actually. To be fair to Mattel tho a lot of the characters the cartoon made famous didn’t exist when they made wave 1 as it came out after. I’m no fan of the metorobs either never knew they existed until I was an adult. Squeezee is cool actually. The arms are goofy but they wrap round other figures it looks cool on shelf. The adult line in particular of him is cool.
RAM MAN. THE WORST . Also HATED Extender . LOVE the snake man with the long arms tho !
Wait, this isn't a Cold War documentary
Close
I had Extendor and King Randor.
